This past year our community lost Hancock County Sheriff’s Deputy Luke Gross in the line of duty. As a way to help our hearts heal, we at Tiny Tikes Daycare accepted donations for Camp POSTCARD to honor his life and dedicated service to his community.
Luke’s family, and the families of Tiny Tikes Daycare, have stepped forward and made an $8,000 donation for Camp POSTCARD to close the gap in this year’s budget. Camp POSTCARD (“Police Officers Striving to Create and Reinforce Dreams”) is a free week-long summer camp for Maine 5th and 6th graders. Deputy Gross loved camp POSTCARD, from referring kids to camp, to being a camp leader. Through the kindness of his family and friends, kids will be able to enjoy a summer camp adventure.
It made my heart happy as I researched what Camp Postcard is all about and hopefully we can encourage more people to be a part of organizations such as this that teaches children and positively impacts their lives & futures!
Thank you everyone for encouragement and prayers for all who are grieving and memorializing during this sad time.
